Side Grills with Carbon Fiber Replaement

bradleyjs · 01-29-2020, 10:49 PM

I just ordered a pair Carbon Fibre Side Grills (51-71-2-447-093) from “BMW Parts Now” for just under $300 (shipping included) and I’ve searched the forum for install tips — nada!

So, for those of you that have done it, I could really use some more info.

FYI - I did find a single “How-To” on YouTube, but it was very short and I’d like to have more up-to-date info.

Thanks guys, I’m sure you will help out - you always do. That’s what the forum was intended to be, a place to share knowledge and experiences.

The IND Distribution website has lots of good DIY. Click on the product and it often has an install video.

Congrats! I installed mine about a month ago. Super easy, probably a 5 minute job. You do need to buy plastic prying tools, you can find those in amazon. IND does have an easy to follow video in YouTube. Also, I documented mine in a post @frozen.f90m5
